edix Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 3:55 pm The 500 Yen piece has a micro-engraved image inside the zeroes of 500, that reveal the number 500 in each of the zeroes when tilted on an angle, and the edge reeding is set at an angle all round that coin.

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 5:29 pm Cool indeed. Such latent images (the technology was developed by the Spanish Mint) can be found on various coins, and it is always interesting to view them at different angles ... http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/operation...w500-02.html Christian Report this Post to the Staff

edix Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 7:36 pm Thanx for the link, it also shows the helical reeding and other anti-counterfeiting measures. I urge all to take a look at that site. Report this Post to the Staff
